You're absolutely right. I likely wouldn't.

But you have to ask whether those ideas (barriers to investing capital, tariffs, etc) are good ideas.

We'd all like people to earn more and live better lives. It seems like the most popular argument on HN is that, to do that, countries should adopt more regulations. Another perspective is that, if we want to achieve our shared goal, the best way to do that is through less regulation, tax, and capital controls.

Same goal, different method.

That's fine, except that we've already lived in a world with less regulation, less tax, less capital controls (not necessarily all varying in sync with each other, but broadly so).

People (generally) earn less and have worse lives under these conditions.
